The Corvette ZR1 is the Fastest Vette Ever! | TEST DRIVE

The new ZR1 is the most powerful Corvette ever with 765hp from a 6.2l Supercharged V8 and capable of a top speed up to 212mph! The ultimate track-focused variant of the C7 Corvette packs radical carbon fibre aero in a car that comes in at $124,000 - but, what's it like?

Join me at SMS Design and Performance to take a Corvette ZR1 with ZTK package with the low-drag wing for a drive to discover all about it. Kicking off with a walkaround to take in details like the engine bay where the carbon top cover makes part of the bonnet, to the facts and figures, it's then time to bring it into life. Out on the roads in a small convoy with a 911 GT3 and a WRX STi we go exploring and can take in the thunderous V8 grumble as well as the sheer ferocity of the power with 755bhp (765PS) and 969nm - incredible numbers and substantially up from the 650PS and 881nm of the previous Corvette Z06.

The most impressive thing though has to be the sheer amount of power and performance that's available for the money, with the fixed roof ZR1 starting at $120k and the convertible at $124k.

The 2019 Corvette ZR1 packs a fairly incredible punch for its price tag! As the fastest Corvette ever made, it produces 765PS and 969nm which can get it to a top speed of 212mph (341km/h). Since seeing it at the reveal I've been looking forward to an opportunity to get behind the wheel to find out what it's really like – join me to find out!

it is not just "incredible for its price tag", it is simply incredible in any regard ! but of course, that so much power, and hypercar humiliating performance can be had for that little amount of money makes it all the more so incredible !

Best color combo for the ZR1 in my opinion with matching silver rims and paint. Some of the others just look cheap and over done like a cartoon car. I guess I am 39 younger generation like all thoes wild colors is what it is.

It is ASTONISHING to me that this is the best America can do in the sportscar/supercar/GT/sporty lux category. So far behind Europe in every conceivable way – raw power aside – that it's legit hard to understand.
